Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara Review

I've tried both the sample size and the full size of this as sometimes the formula acts differently but unfortunately this mascara is just not for me. It coated my lashes fine but nothing that "wowed" me. The issue is that this mascara flakes really badly on me and leaves black spots on my cheeks. I have tried powdering under my eyes in case it was the oils on my skin breaking down the mascara but unfortunately it made no difference. My sister found the same thing happening to her when she has tried the sample size.

I fully allow for the fact that this is personal preference though, as I then gifted my mascara tubes to my niece and she loved them.

I was so excited to try this mascara after a couple of work colleagues recommended it me but I found that it didn't really live up to the hype.

The pros for me are that it does add volume and lengthen the lashes leaving them looking quite good when you first apply it. However, the cons really outweigh any of those pros for me. The brush is quite large, difficult to use, and it clumps easily. The mascara smudges and requires an under eye finger sweep periodically throughout the day, which is far too high maintenance for me! Plus it is super expensive compared to its equivalents. I also found removing it quite difficult with a lot of product left at the base of my lashes after washing my face (which doesn't happen with other mascaras). Wouldn't recommend.

Now 8 years ago this was so good. It would lift lashes and stay all day but now it seems flaky during the day it starts flaking into my eyes, it doesn’t lift my lashes like it use to. It’s like the formula has changed. Definitely don’t recommend.

This product was a bit of a disappointment to me. I love the packaging, the metallic pink is quite pretty. Unfortunately after a few uses the mascara became clumpy and I had to apply it several times before I reached the thickness I desired. The black shade is a nice one but the texture of the product is not my favorite and certainly not better than sex.

I have a sample sized tube of this mascara, i bought it with a bronzer mini off trademe. I've heard so many differing opinions about it. Some people love it and others hate it. I love too faced in general though so it was something I really wanted to try. To claim something is better than sex is a rather extreme statement. Maybe it depends on what type of Sex? I don't know but I best not go off on a Tangent!

This mascara comes in a pretty metallic pink tube. I'm pretty much always sold on pink items so that is definitely a plus for me.

The mascara wand is enormous and hour glass shaped. There's pluses to it being so big, in that it will be build volume faster but cons are not getting the teeny lashes and I always make a mess on my eyelid. Anyway, the formula is on the drier side which I prefer and it's a very black formula.

The first time I used this, I fell in love. With hardly any effort, I had really long and full lashes. I have stumpy lashes so it usually takes forever to build up half decent ones. The big downside for me though is wear time. This flaked so badly on me after only a few hours and also transferred on my upper eye area too. I've used this heaps since then but the same thing has happened every time.

I think this would be good if you only needed amazing lashes for a few hours. I honestly love the effect so it breaks my heart that it doesn't last. Just as I'm writing this, I'm wondering if there is a waterproof version because that would hopefully be longer lasting! Anyway, I'll use the rest of my tube but I can't see myself buying this again.

Don't understand all the hype for the cost... Thank the Lord I got the sample sizes version. Alright just your average mascara.

I first bought this early this year after seeing youtube video after youtube video of beauty gurus raving about it. I bought it for $35 which is quite alot for me as I am a poor uni student. So I used it for the first time how I would use any other mascara and.... It was CLUMPY, SPIDERY AND DID NOT LIVE UP TO THE HYPE. At least for me anyway... Maybe mine was a bad batch or something because there have been so many good reviews about this but I never wore it because it made my eyelashes look so yuck.

So for a few months I just continued wearing my Revlon mascara because it works and is safe for me. It ran out a few weeks ago and so I decided to go back to the Better than Sex mascara. This time, I used a new technique of application. As i pulled the wand out of the tube, I scraped one side along the edge. This means that one side of the wand has all the product and the other only has a small amount. I used the side will all the product on the ends of my lashes and used the side with a small amount from bottom to top. This made a big difference in how the mascara looked. I wear it a lot now (although that may just be because I have no other mascara to wear).

In conclusion, I would not buy this product again (nor would I recommend to a friend), as I know there are plenty more mascaras out there that work the same if not better. I will however keep using this until it runs out.

I tried this over a few months and I have to say, I do not understand the hype at all.

I found this made my lashes clumpy, too much product would come off on the brush and it did not seperate my lashes nicely.

It would leave little dots of mascara on my eyelids and I found it took a long time to set when doing multiple coats

My friends rave about this mascara so much that they purchased it for me. I don't know what all the fuss is about. I liked that it is animal friendly - huge plus. But as a product I really didn't like it. I found it gluggy and the brush too soft with bristles that kept glugging and going in all directions, not helping application. I loved the presentation of the tube and the branding is clean and attractive. But the glugg was just gross and the brush, frustrating. If you want an animal friendly mascara that IS THE BUSINESS. Try Eye of Horus, of Natio. Both of those rock. But this one, I am not a fan.
